1967 Map of Fryburg

About this map

Oil and gas wells dominate this rural landscape in the late 1960s, appearing as dense clusters of production alongside numerous strip mines. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by significant transportation infrastructure, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central rail lines converge near Shippenville and Shippenville Station. This intersection marks a transition from the industrial activity of the northern highlands down toward the corridor of Paint Creek.
